Lancet Study Proves Markets Work In Medicine: When Will Progressives Accept This Hard Truth? - Forbes

In the aftermath of the Democratic National Committee unapologetically rigging its primaries against progressive Bernie Sanders supporters in 2016, a growing number of progressives and young voters are choosing to leave the Democratic Party, citing irreparable corruption.

Many others, however, believe the best way to fight back is to effect a hostile takeover of the party from within. The fact that we have these competing views is not a problem. What is a problem is the prevailing assumption among both factions that these two strategies are mutually exclusive. I dont believe that they are.

Looking In: Berniecrats and #DemExit Progressives need to work together - Santa Fe New Mexican

Democrat Rob Quist was defeated by Republican Greg Gianforte Thursday night in a special election for Montanas at-large congressional seat, a state President Donald Trump won by 20 points in November. A progressive movement largely inspired by Bernie Sanders, however, rallied to bring Thursdays race within single digits.

Montana is considered a deep red state. Yet Quist ran as a progressive endorsed by Sen. Sanders and campaignedon positions to the left of the Democratic Party. He only lost by 6 points. That is a silver lining for progressives.

Last weekwas also a big week for the progressive movement in two local elections in New York and New Hampshire.

Democrats flipped two red districts in state house races last week. School teacherChristine Pellegrino upset Republican challenger Tom Gargiulo in a special election for the 9thAssembly District in New York. Pellegrino was a Bernie Sanders delegate during the Democratic presidential primary and ran on a progressive platform.

Her win marks a huge turn around in the Long Island district that voted for Trump by twenty-three points last fall. Republican Joseph Saladino, the last occupier of the Assembly seat, won his last re-election over his Democratic opponent, 69-31.

Pellegrino carried the district last Tuesday, 58-42. The newly elected Democrat told Newsday, This is for all the supporters and voters who understand a strong progressive agenda is the way forward in New York.

Thatsame night, in New Hampshire, Democrat Edie DesMarais pulled off a huge upset victory in Carroll County District 6 over Republican Matthew Plache. Trump won the same district in November by 7 points, and Mitt Romney won the district by 13 points in 2012.

According to the local Democratic Party, DesMarais is the first Democrat to ever be elected in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. DesMarais, running on a progressive platform, stated that she believes in affordable, universal health care, as well as raising the minimum wage so that full-time workers can earn a livable wage.

While the Democrats are yet to win a national race since Trumps election, narrowly losing special elections in Kansas and Montana, these two local racesprovide hope for progressives looking to capitalize on President Trumps low approval ratings.

Many attribute these races to simply being part of an anti-Trump backlash. Yet polling indicates that there is a strong appetite among the public for progressive policies.

According to a Gallup poll, 58% of Americans support a federally funded, single-payer health care system. Sixty-two percent support tuition free college. A strong majority of Americans also favor raising the minimum wage, with 59% supporting a $12 minimum wage, and almost half supporting a $15 minimum.

Culminating all that, a recent Harvard-Harris poll found that Bernie Sanders is the most popular active politician. While the Democratic establishment seeks to rebuild after last Novembers shocking loss to Donald Trump, the progressive grassroots movement is gaining plenty of momentum at the local level.

USA Today: Trump Driving Liberals to Yoga - NewsBusters (blog)

VANCOUVER- British Columbia's minority Green Party on Monday struck a deal with the left-leaning New Democrats to govern Canada's western-most province, a move that casts doubt on the future of key energy projects from firms such as Kinder Morgan Inc.

Announcement of the partnership ends a stalemate that emerged last week when the final tally of votes from a May 9 election stripped Liberal premier ChristyClarkof her majority. She will now leave office.

The two parties said they will disclose details of their plans on Tuesday.

Green leader Andrew Weaver did not reveal what the pact says about Kinder Morgan's plans to twin its Trans Mountain crude oil pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific coast. Both parties oppose the $7.4 billion project.

"This issue of Kinder Morgan is one that was critical to us and I think you'll see that reflected in tomorrow's announcement," Weaver told a news conference with NDP leader John Horgan.

Clarkhad backed Trans Mountain as well as liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects.

Kinder Morgan's Canadian unit is expected to debut on Tuesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange in an initial public offering to part-finance Trans Mountain. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment, although it acknowledged last week the political climate was "not ideal."

Any move by the new government to block Kinder Morgan will be a blow to federal Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose government approved the project last November.Clark's Liberals are unrelated to Trudeau's party.

Trudeau's spokeswoman Andree-Lyne Halle said the federal government would continue to "work constructively with provincial and territorial governments on the issues that matter to Canadians."

Trudeau says the Alberta energy industry needs the pipeline to boost exports to Asia and reduce reliance on the U.S. market. Opponents say the risks of a spill are too large.

"We will continue to do what we have done all the way, which is standing up for Alberta's best interests. That includes Kinder Morgan and making sure we have access to tidewater for our products," said Alberta Deputy Premier Sarah Hoffman.

Hoffman said Alberta would intervene in lawsuits against the project.

While there is some dispute over whether British Columbia can actually formally block a pipeline project, it can raise multiple hurdles like denying local construction permits that could effectively make it impossible to build.

FIRST MINORITY GOVT SINCE 1952

Horgan has also expressed reservations about a $27 billion liquefied natural gas terminal that Malaysia's Petronas wants to build in northern British Columbia. Petronas was not immediately available for comment.

The political agreement reached between the Greens and New Democrats still needs to be voted on by the NDP caucus on Tuesday. If they agree to create a minority government, it would be the province's first in 65 years.

The Greens and the New Democrats together have 44 of the 87 seats in the provincial legislature. Under the terms of the deal the Greens promise not to defeat the New Democrats for the full four-year term of the new parliament.

Richard Johnston, a professor of political science at the University of British Columbia, said the announcement was "a revolutionary moment in B.C.'s politics. This would be the first minority that lasts more than a year."

The Liberals have ruled the province for 16 years.

Clarkissued a statement saying the government had "a responsibility to carefully consider our next steps" and would have more to say on Tuesday.

Her obvious options include resigning, or hanging onto power until she presents her formal agenda to the new legislature. The Greens and NDP would then immediately vote to bring her down.
